I'm sure it's like anything else. 1000 different ways it can go. New tech doesn't necessarily mean bad, old tech doesn't necessarily mean worse. Maybe that surgeon just thinks the shit is more reliable and less side effects. Who can say.

I'm like 10 years on from mine now. Pain is still there occasionally, but nothing like it used to be. But, on the flip side - it made my orgasms like 5x better. Honestly worth a couple minutes of feeling like you got kicked in the balls once or twice a month. So, even when shit goes wrong, sometimes it still works out okay.
Very strange, I can't think of any anatomical reason it should change your orgasm at all. Maybe thats connected to why you have pain occasionally.

There's not really an anatomical reason why I should have pain either.

Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome is one of those things where they don't know what causes it, and don't know how to fix it. Or at least, they didn't 10 years ago, when the doc told me "don't chase pain with surgery, you're just gonna end up with more pain."
It's waned over time, but it's definitely still a thing. Most of the time it's post coital, so I'll roll over and then feel like I got kicked square in the nuts for 3-5 minutes. It's pretty fun. Occasionally it happens just throughout the day. Always awesome when you gotta take a knee at work and you're in the company of people you can't really explain it to.

The flip side is 90-95% of the time, I get these super orgasms where the best way to describe it is I get two back to back, and the 2nd one is always significantly better than the first, because it starts right as the first ends. It's fucking crazy, and that never happened until a few months after the vasectomy, and it's stuck around too. Fair trade off for the pain.

I've been considering as well, but have a family history of prostate cancer and am unsure how to interpret the current conflicted research (~10% relative risk elevation for people with history). Plus a cousin's husband had some sort of scrotal fibrosis after his vasectomy which has left him in daily pain for years. I know negative outcomes are rare, but still.

Don't really know what to say, that does seem like a fair tradeoff, although getting kicked in the nuts does suck. Guess you gotta take the good with the bad. I don't really notice any difference at all post-vasectomy other than I don't worry about getting the wife pregnant anymore.

Had the clips method in 2006, no issue at all. Even had sex the night of the procedure!

Thinking about getting a consult for this. Wife can't have any more kids due to health reasons so I don't want to accidentally load her up.
Get the Saturday morning van rolling again and you won't need to worry about this.

I'm not sure what all this clip talk is about. I had mine done 3 years ago. Doc used some air blaster gun to numb my FUPA, I felt nothing and it was over before track 1 of the tranquil gardens/Enya CD was over. My wife didn't even get her laptop on the office Wifi and I was walking out. Shit man the fucking muscle relaxer hadn't even kicked in.

Anyways it was really easy, 10/10 would recommend not waiting and getting it done as soon as possible.

Clipping is where they clamp the cut ends of the vas deferens via metal clips. Better than ligation, which is basically not done at all anymore, but not quite as good as cauterization.

Worst decision maybe of my entire life. Haven't been able to have orgasms since really. I have a few year (2-3) maybe. Someone else on here ended up the same. Doctors refuse to address. I'm quite confident it's related to inflammation and damage to nerves. The vast majority of vasectomies will resolve without issue. I had bad inflammation for over a year. Looking back I should have been really aggressive combating inflammation ( was taking high levels of naprosyn but wasnt working ) the doctor completly ignoring me insisting the complications from vasectomies' wasn't a thing. I have talked to enough people over more than a decade that matched my experience almost exactly. Maybe it's 1 in 100 or even 1 in a 1000 who knows since medical community does not want to address it. I posted on this a long time ago I don't even remember what iteration of the forum.

Been thinking about this for a while.

You know that feeling when you havent had sex for a couple days and it feels like you got kicked in the nuts? I confess that this is my fear: that post vasectomy, it'll be that feeling for the rest of my life with no way to relieve it.

Every time I read a post vasectomy pain horror story I go "See? That right there". Sucks. In theory its something I should do, but is it worth lifetime balls pain?

OK guess amod can safely close this thread.

Thanks for your service to science.

I entertained the idea of this years ago, but the thought of the procedure and the clips just gives me the willies. Messing with my functionality down there is one of those things I won't risk unless it's life threatening.

Yeah, I'll admit that's giving me doubt. It's not objective however.

I can tell the wife is disappointed, she won't say it though. We're both in our early 40's, is the proximity of menopause worth considering?

All surgery should be taken seriously, despite what happened to me I don't tell people to not have a vasectomy. But surgery comes along with risk. I share it because it's just not something I weighed being a potential outcome.

THe real kicker was wife wanting to go back on BC afterwards because periods were worse and was getting cysts. So I kind of did it for nothing, 48 now and she is just starting menopause but that can take awhile to know the factory is truly turned off

Menopause in the sense that you'll be totally free of worry of pregnancy probably won't be until after 50. Some women start perimenopause in the mid 40's but that just gives irregular periods and weird symptoms. Total stopping of period is somewhere in the 50's I think.

I had the same issues re: doctors and trying to figure this out. Might be in this thread - I called literally every urologist in the phone book looking for a 2nd opinion. It was the very last guy who said he'd take a look and do the research. Everyone else said I needed to go back to the surgeon.

The thing is, without the Internet, I don't think anyone would even know how common the problems are. It's not like men sit around and talk about this shit. We just suffer in silence.

I would still do it again, because my partner had been suffering from the effects of a lifetime of female birth control when I got it done. Even knowing what I know now, I'd still do it again. Even with getting divorced 5 years after that, it was still the right thing to do.

But, be aware of the risks. No one tells you this shit. When you ask, all the surgeons tell you it's safe, and they never tell you any problems. And when you have problems, they just tell you to take more Advil and more antibiotics. And when you try to look for a second opinion, it's hard to get one. Just make a plan, do your due diligence, ask questions, and if they don't answer shit the way you like, walk out and find someone else.
